Handmade Christmas Ornaments

This is such a fun holiday season with my lil’ girl Lily. She’s four years old now and is SO excited about Christmas! This is the first year that she’s really gotten into the holidays and I’m enjoying every minute of it all. Makes me see this time of year through a child’s eyes. So much fun and anticipation! This year, Lily really wanted to make her own Christmas ornaments, so Michael went out to Michael’s by himself {yes…a man alone at a craft store} and picked out all the supplies. I can only imagine that sight! Oh, how I wish I was there… When he got home, he set out all the crafts on the table and started talking about what we could make. Lily was so excited and you could tell she was confused on how some clothes pins, paint, glitter, felt, popsicle sticks, pillow stuffing, glue and pipe cleaners could really make pretty ornaments. We worked for hours crafting our ornaments with loving care with the sound of laughter and Christmas tunes among us. When the paint and glue was dry, we hung our handmade ornaments on the tree and admired our work. Lily looks at the ornaments and has stories about each of them, which she shares with anyone who will listen. When I see these DIY decorations, I smile and remember the time we shared as a family making these ornaments and most importantly…memories that I know I’ll cherish for always. I believe we’ve started a great Niemann family tradition and for that…I’m thankful!

As a mother, some days are hard. But, moments like these are a great reminder how all the sleepless nights and struggles are all worth it. 

Love being able to capture sweet and natural images like this for my clients. Such a nice reminder of the love that surrounds you in moments when tantrums are taking place, kiddos are fighting and/or one more blow out happens just as you are heading out the door. We have all had days like this, but we also get to have the moments where everything is just pure perfection and things come with ease. Embrace it all. The years pass by in a blink!

So grateful that our Summer has begun. More time to spend with my family and have a schedule a bit more lax. Still a lot on the to do list - especially with my daughter heading off to college in a couple of months. But, overall, things are more peaceful and easy going during this season. Plus, lots of fun to be had.
